OK I've been keeping an eye on this game since the first trailer, as a lot of the aesthetics and ideas on display are appealing. For anybody who knows more about this game and its devs, how brainwormed is it?

    According to a dev blog, it was originally planned to be a shooter with levels, but the huge reaction from Reddit comparing it to Fallout made them retool it to be more immersive sim-like. This massive unexpected attention and scope expansion is also the root cause of development issues that may or may not have been resolved if it finally has a release date.

      :shrek-pixel-despair: Why would anyone do this lmao. This could have had potential to be a fun, dumb budget title but they decided to chase after games with Bethesda budgets and development cycles.

        It caused a shitshow with its publisher and a massive delay, I remember a year ago people were saying it would never come out - but if it's coming out soon I guess it managed to survive whatever happened behind the scenes.
